This book is a complete step-be-step guide to buying/selling a small business. The author begins by explaining the process of choosing the right business for you. He continues by giving detailed explanations of each step of the process, following through to how to deal with your new employees.
The book includes a CD that contains the complete book plus a sample business plan that can be modified to suit your needs. Another benefit of the book is the simplified explanation of how to do a financial analysis of the prospective business. This analysis tells you a lot about the way a business operates and if the business is worth the investment risk.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is seriously looking into buying a small business. It is packed full of helpful information and is written in terminology that is very easy to understand. The financial information alone is well worth the purchase of the book.
